Try this delicious Pumpkin spelt bread when you are on the run on a cold winter’s day. Pumpkin is another member of the squash family and contains lots of fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, Carotenoids, and a host of other health benefits.

In a large bowl, beat the oil, sugar and honey with a stand or hand-held electric mixer on medium-high speed until mixed. Add the pumpkin purée and beat again.

Use a silicone spatula to scrape down the bowl. Add the vanilla and eggs and mix well. Add the white, wheat and spelt flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. Mix all the ingredients together. Use a silicone spatula to scoop the batter into the pan and then smooth the top.

Bake for 45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then turn out onto a rack and let cool completely. Store covered in plastic at room temperature for up to five days or freeze wrapped in plastic for up to three months.
